    Yes, they're completely different.
    Social bookmarking is something like delicious - it's literally a site where you allow public access to sites you've bookmarked. Stumbleupon is another one - again - it's about sharing sites that you like with other people.

    Social networking, on the other hand, are sites like Facebook, Myspace and Twitter - sites where people engage with each other, build up networks of friends.

    Many of the social bookmarking sites do have a networking element, in that you build up networks of friends and followers, but their primary function is sharing sites, or pages or articles from websites.

    In a social bookmarking website you share bookmarks with people like you, a social networking website is more general, you connect with the users, talk to them and do many other things...

    Social Networking is a way to which people link each other. Digg is the popular example of a social network, it allow you to interact socially with people online.
    Social bookmarking is a way to save, categorize and share personal collection of bookmarks to others. Example is Stumbleupon where u can post article of your blog and bookmark for everyone to read. It's a great way on how to get good traffics on your blogs.

    Social Networking is a place where people share and link with each others. Social Bookmarking is a place where people bookmark their favorites. Some websites have both Social Networking as well as Social Bookmarking.
